A LITERARY HISTORY OF THE NOSE

And no mention of Conkling Speedwell from /Bleeding Edge/?!

Gogol's story, just by the way, was turned by Shostakovich in the 1920s 
into an opera which contains the first long drum set solo in the history 
of classical music.

And while we're talking about music and noses in literature, your coming 
president - no, not the next one, but the one after the next one! - has 
something about this on the /808s & Heartbreak/ album:

"... I just wanna be a real boy/They always say 'Kanye, he keeps it 
real, boy'/Pinocchio's story goes, to be a real boy//It's 
funny/Pinocchio lied, and that's what kept him from it/I tell the truth, 
and I keep running ..."
